The design of a pulse sequence for volume localization in magnetic resonance spectroscopy is described in detail. The sequence is based on the volume selective excitation technique (VSE) proposed by Aue et al . [J. Magn. Reson. 56 , 350 (1984)] and overcomes the high rf power requirements of VSE. The implications of various design stages are demonstrated experimentally and by computer simulations.
